Video Generation · Alibaba Group

I am a researcher at Alibaba Group, working on video generation. I contribute to building the HappyHorse series of models, including pre-training and post-training. I joined Alibaba in 2024 through the Alibaba Star Program.

I received my PhD degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University, supervised by Prof. Si Liu. I was also a visiting researcher at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. Before my PhD study, I was a master student at Beihang University. I received my B.Eng. degree from Harbin Engineering University in 2019.
